We really enjoy staying at the Holiday Travel Park through Thousand Trails and this is our third stay here. The residents of the park are very friendly, inviting, and will strike up a conversation with you as you sit in the main lodge or walk through the park. Matt and Christa, the office staff, are also very friendly and are always helpful to make your stay wonderful here at Holiday Travel! Just outside of the park, you’ll find a Winn Dixie grocery store (on the right), and to the left, a local Greek food stand (wonderful), a liquor and wine store with a great selection, and more. Within a short driving distance, there are nice local parks and walking trails – recommend the North Anclote Nature Park and Jay B. Starky Wilderness Park (dogs on leash allowed in both). In terms of local major attractions, Tampa is about a 40 minute drive away where you can visit the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI), Busch Gardens, Adventure Island and more. Tarpon Springs is a very short distance away and very worth visiting the Sponge Docks, the Hellas Restaurant, and many shops. Parking is free in the Hellas Restaurant’s Parking Lot (around back) provided that you dine at their restaurant. Be sure to get a validated parking ticket from the server.
